My Students

As a special education teacher in a large urban school district, I struggle with providing enough resources for my students. My school has fostered a love of reading, and my students are given independent reading time on a daily basis. Teaching a group of diverse learners, I struggle to offer a wide variety of texts at my student's independent reading levels. My students are independently reading at different levels and are in need of a rich, engaging library of books to chose from. My students are critical thinkers, questioners, and dreamers. I want to be able to provide an engaging library to continue to foster their passion and love for reading.

My Project

The addition of these novels to our classroom library will help challenge my students to ask thoughtful questions and engage in rich literature discussions. A library full of exciting new books will provide endless opportunities for my students to engage in their passions for reading. These books will help open doors to new, exciting worlds for my students to discover. My students will be able to continue to grow as readers and critical thinkers. As one of my favorite children authors Dr. Seuss once said, "The more you read, the more things you know. The more that you learn them more places you'll go."
